This is about "openssl s_client", and not about anything else. s_client is just a diagnostics program you can tests things. It can be used for testing an SMTP server, but it doesn't properly act as an SMTP client. exim seems to be right in saying that openssl's s_client is broken and that it shouldn't send STARTTLS when it's not advertised yet. Also note that exim in debian is linked to gnutls, not to libssl. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
